I recently got a Kobo Aura ONE and started reading a lot more. This page is meant to be a record of what I've already read, what I plan to read, and what I'm on at the moment. The categories are in alphabetical order but that's the only organisation there is in the Will read section; the others will be a bit more orderly.
All of the book links are to Wikipedia pages without the language prefix so it should redirect to whatever locale you have set. Unfortunately, some of the books don't have dedicated pages; in those instances, I've used one of Wikipedia's features to prefill the ISBN search bar so you can view them using the database of your choice, whether that's Open Library, WorldCat, Amazon, etc. (but please don't use Amazon.)
If you have any suggestions, feel free to send me a message somewhere!

OSINT (offense & defense)
OSINT stands for Open Source Intelligence and deals with gathering information from public sources. This can include social media profiles, email addresses, passwords, usernames, etc. obtained through a public database dump, what you can find out from talking to an individual directly, etc. There are many reasons to have a working knowledge of OSINT methods but the main one, for me, is defense. While reading books on how to keep your information private is good and all, the best resources are on investigating other people; by knowing how to find information about others, you also have a better understanding of how to keep your information safe.

Have read
This is by far not a complete list; I have read more books than I can possibly remember. This is simply a list of either ones I've read since I started again or the first ones that come to mind when thinking back to when I was younger.
Fantasy
Recommendations
These are books and series I have read and highly recommend. I will likely only list one series per author but I encourage you to look more into them and read more of their work. The first few are ranked in order of favouritism but, after that, there is no particular method to my madness.

Academic reading
My end career goal is to be a university professor. A PhD is all but required to teach at a university and obtaining one will be a rigorous endeavour. One of the requirements for that will be reading and writing a lot of academic papers. In addition to the normal books above, I'm going to keep a record of the academic works I've consumed, possibly with some blog posts and notes on them; we'll see where that goes though 😉
